Guestbook

  1. Wanda and I graduated together in Iola in 1954. She was always quiet, sweet and hard working. My condolences to the family. She will be missed.

  2. I had the pleasure of knowing Wanda and Don for over 30 years. I was their dental hygienist and enjoyed our visits every 6 months. Their love for each other was so apparent. Wanda was so sweet and always came in with that big smile on her face. She loved her family and would proudly update me on her grandchildren. I know she is so happy to be reunited Don in Heaven. Rest in peace sweet Wanda.
